We wanted to let you know that SMART is moving!

Whilst our building on Gertrude Street receives some much-needed TLC, we’ll be relocating for up to 12 months. But rest assured — everything you know and love about SMART will continue, including all our sessions with fantastic partners like mindfulness and massage.

The café will be based at Chelsea Theatre, and RBKC are also exploring other nearby spaces for us on the World’s End Estate. Our garden and Sheds project will remain exactly where they are, and thanks to the generosity of Cadogan Pier, we’ll also have access to their beautiful community room if we need additional space.

Things are moving quickly — but there’s still plenty of time to talk, plan, and shape this next chapter together.

You can watch a short message from Amelia here: Amelia’s Update on Instagram. And of course we will be in touch with further updates.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch — we’d love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you to everyone who came to our relaunch last week – we had a great time! Lots of people came down to sample our food, have a natter, and jam out at our Music drop-in session. It was brilliant to see so many people come together, and we look forward to having an opportunity to get together again soon.

Do let us know what you think of the food, and our plans to open a bit later from November (for food, fun, warmth and advice). We’ll need lots of help, so keep your eye out for our paid job adverts.

We’ve counted all the donations to our Ukraine fundraiser, and they’ve totalled to an amazing £450!

A big thank you to all for your generous donations.

We’ll be sending the money off to the DEC to support those affected by the conflict.

We had a great time at our first SMART Champions Summer Event on 14th July, which we co-hosted with the Chelsea Community Champions, and the Earl’s Court Community Champions.

The event started off with table-top sales, a craft stall selling jewellery, and craft items that SMART members made at SMART’s craft café sessions, bubbles, plus falafel, and sandwiches and snacks made by the Community Champions teams.

Later on in the afternoon, the SMART band, Mad in Chelsea, got everyone (chair 😊) dancing and singing along, just in time for the raffle prize draw and pizza.

A great day was rounded up with evening mocktails, and the remaining feel-good vibes of an excellent event.

As always, thank you to everyone that came, contributed, bought items from our stall and tables, raffle tickets – you made our event what it was.
